Key objectives
A great start in life: Children & families enjoy access to culture and creativity to support their early years and aspiration & achievement through school.
Growing creativity: Children & young people develop creative skills to support their resilience, imagination and self-expression in and out of school.
Develop and retain talent: increase awareness, uptake and routes for young people in to cultural and creative training and careers.
Confident and cohesive provision: the culture sector has a higher profile and is strategically aligned and valued for its contribution to wider Education, Employment and Skills agendas.
